More frpm Uganda-
Three decades ago at Opuyo Village in Soroti town, a 20-year-old was inspired by a voice he could not comprehend urging him to be a church preacher and he embarked on a vocation that he has since lived to love - the life of a preacher, writes Richard Otim
One Sunday in October 1973, a young George Erwau dramatically vowed to remain a servant of Jesus and preach the Gospel for the rest of his life. Now an Anglican priest, was consecrated as the third bishop of Soroti Diocese on September 6 at St Philips Cathedral.
Born to Enoch Esabu and Mary Kevin Audo 56 years ago in the small village of Acetgwen in Soroti County, the path to the helm of Episcopal hierarchy has not been a smooth one for Rev Erwau.
"It has not been easy (serving as a church minister) but I have never thought of giving up my call to priesthood," Erwau said. Recounting his life achievements since, Erwau is convinced that being chosen as the next Bishop was God's doing. But, unlike some of the affluent prelates the Anglican Church in Uganda has bred in the past, Erwau has nothing to gloat over but a humble upbringing.
